Ataman: “We won thanks to Sluka’s decisions – Juancho returns with Villerban”

In the press conference after the end of the match at OAKA, the coach of the “greens” spoke about the decisions of Kostas Sloukas that gave Panathinaikos AKTOR the victory against PAOK. Ergin Ataman.

In addition, he revealed that the Juancho Hernagometh will play in his team’s upcoming match against Villeurbanne, returning from his injury, while he emphasized that the Grigonis will be available, after his absence tonight.

In detail what Panathinaikos coach AKTOR said:



“After a bad week, always the next league match is difficult. We started the game slowly, we were soft and PAOK found rhythm and confidence. When Slukas and Balcerovski came in, we played better. Kalaitzakis did a good job in defense and surprise, while Nan as always played his game, a good attacking game. In the second half we were in control of the match but lost our balance a bit in the last period. But thanks to Sluka’s decisions we managed to win in the end”.

For Juancho and Grigonis and whether they are considered for the match against Villeurbanne: “I hope they will both be in Lyon. Juancho is back and I believe he will be in the Euroleague match. I don’t think Grigonis had anything serious, he had a problem yesterday but there are four more days until the match to come back. He is a very important player for us until Papapetrou comes back to the roster. We’ll see. Kalaitzakis also played very well and I believe he will get some minutes in the Euroleague match based on his performance today”.
